1st - 12th Grade Admissions
International Families
Every year, we welcome approximately 300 new students from all over the world who choose to make CNG their home away from home. We know that international students and families relocating from abroad have unique needs that require a tailored approach and have designed our rolling admissions process to ensure a smooth transition.
Local Transfers
Local families can apply for admission to CNG for entry at the beginning of the school year only. Students residing in Bogota who wish to transfer to CNG for grades 1st through 11th must do testing and interviews between April and the first week of June. CNG does not allow local transfers into 12th grade.
